(Yahoo!) The Derek Jeter tributes won't be limited to just the game broadcast on Tuesday night.

Nike's Jordan brand, one of Jeter's longtime sponsors, plans to roll out a 90-second ad during Jeter's 14th and final All-Star Game appearance. It's a pretty chill-inducing spot, beginning with the late Bob Sheppard's famous Jeter at-bat introduction and continuing with tip-of-the-cap tributes from everyone from Jay Z to Phil Jackson to Carmelo Anthony. Even noted Yankees rivals like Mr. Met and a pair of begrudging Boston Red Sox fans take time to pay their respects to the retiring All-Star.

The ad has been so popular that #RE2PECT started trending on Twitter with the release of the ad.

The ad, which first premiered on AdWeek, will run in its entirety during Tuesday's game while a 60-second version will run throughout the summer. Go ahead and watch the ad to see how many stars you can spot and recognize.
